One early evening right before dusk, they were playing in the forest dressed as magicians with their black gowns and top hats using tree branches for magic wands, and as they waved their wands they saw a very strange shadow. This shadow was also surrounded by very

The Long Shadow is a book written by three research sociologists; Karl Alexander, Doris R. Entwisle, and Linda Olson. Karl Alexander is John Dewey Professor and chair of the Department of Sociology at the John Hopkins University. The late Doris R. Entwisle was a research professor of Sociology at the John Hopkins University. Linda Olson is an associate research scientist with the Baltimore Education Research Consortium (BERC) and the Center for Social Organization of Schools at the John Hopkins University. This book was originally published on April 14, 2014 and in this book, these professors followed the lives of 790 children growing up in various neighborhoods throughout Baltimore, Maryland. I would consider this book a case study because it took over twenty-five years of research, interviews and surveys to finally get it done and then later on published. The three main subjects researched in this book are a family’s background, disadvantaged urban youth, and the transition to adulthood. And in this paper, I will present my central findings of this book.

“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” stated by Elie Wiesel. In the book Night Elie Wiesel describes in traumatic details of the year he spent at Auschwitz. In Night, Elie Wiesel reveals the devastating experiences that took place in the death camps.Throughout the novel, examples of dehumanization occur when the many jews are forced to cut their hair, when they are compared to or called dogs, and when they had to throw their friends and family into the crematorium.

“No one is like me!” Albert cried. Suddenly Albert sees a mysterious creature off in the distance. “Hello? Is anyone there?” Albert questioned. The shadow came closer and closer. “Albert? Is that you?” a voice called off in the distance. Suddenly the shadow disappeared.

it was the imaginary friend you had as a child called something different every time you forgot what you named her the night before.

To begin with, the definition of shadow is very important to this story. Shadow as a noun means a dark figure or likeness cast upon the ground, but it can also be a

This is a very similar situation to what is going on in Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. In this book, three men are tied by their hands and feet to a rock in a cave, and their heads are forced to point directly at the cave wall. All three of the men were born in the cave in this position and none have ever seen outside of the cave. Behind the three men is a fire, and in between the men and the fire is a walkway. People walking along this walkway carrying various items on their heads, thus projecting shadows onto the wall in front of the men. The men see the shadows and naturally assume that the shadows are real beings walking in front of them (Trumpeter).

Anger, selfishness, violent tendencies, the quest for uncontrollable power, and sexual desires are all undesirable traits which are frowned upon by society, and are concealed to avoid scrutiny. These traits can be referred to as one's shadow. The shadow is the repressed unconscious side of a personality (The Shadow Archetype). The shadow is considered to be a dark force because it consists of all the negative emotions and behaviors of an individual that they choose to hide in order to avoid society’s pressing judgment. In literature, the shadow can carry negative or evil qualities, as seen in many texts that revolve around a character’s struggle with some form of a shadow. The shadow, whether a physical being or a darkness within, grows in

break down, that vitality is discharged into nature. There is no proof that "vitality" remains or can be contained in a human-looking element after the body is dead. Inside of the corpus of paranormal writing, phantoms come in different sorts. The phantom is a loud, troublesome, problematic substance. Clever spirits might associate with individuals or be deciphered as having some natural reason to attempt. Lingering hauntings are portrayed like the procedure of a tape replaying in nature. Shadow individuals are said to be versatile dark masses that discharge an insidious vicinity. Phantoms that take after individuals from numerous time periods have been accounted for yet the most widely recognized reports are those of the later past or from

Rose is a born ShadowHunter from Paris. She is the daughter of Abel and Mary Havenstone. Her father, Abel, died before Rose was born and her mother later remarried a man named Kurt Ridgeway, he was an admired ShadowHunter. Rose was five years of age when her mother married Kurt and he began to train Rose to be the best ShadowHunter that she could possibly be. With strict training Rose never spent much time with any other children, instead she spent her time training and studying runes, downworlder history, and anything any ShadowHunter should study. When she was nine years old her stepfather went out to kill a rogue vampire, he never came back. The rogue vampire wasn't alone, it was an ambush. This started Rose's hate for Downworlders. A few

Imagine glancing at a park that borders a body of water on the left, and growth of trees on the right. The foreground, in a shadow, contains animals along with males and females in various classes of society, based on the way they are dressed. It is important to note that in this region, the shadow is not a normal grey or black color associated with a shadow. Rather it is dark green and areas where shadow meets light are

Shadowing has been an incredibly satisfying experience for me. During the months of June- July 2016, I assisted in many medical areas including pediatrics, family medicine, pediatric emergency, obstetrics and gynecology. I have seen many different patients from an infant born with HIV to a teenage girl with severe bed sores who doesn’t want to leave her bed because she feels disabled in her wheelchair. Over the course of 17 hours, I shadowed five doctors, who gave me a personal glance into the day in the life of a physician. During this time, I assisted in taking patients to their rooms, ordering tests, and interacting with patients on a medical basis. Throughout the entire experience, one patient stood out to me. This patient was a regular

The world was created with the intent that every person might inhabit it and live freely and for the most part most of the people do just that; live freely with little to no restrictions. Yet, there is a small percentage that is oppressed, not openly, not publicly but in the shadows. In this country everyone comes from a line of immigrants. Every settler, every missionary, every pilgrim came to the New World as an immigrant, one who comes to live permanently in a foreign country due to oppression, religious freedom, or to pursue a better life. Yet a pressing issue that has taken a high level of importance in the political and social spectrums is the issue of immigration, how to prevent future immigrants from entering America

Socrates describes people in a cave since birth, bound so they can only see what is in front of them. There are shadows and sounds that can be observed but the source is unknown. Socrates says in 515c, “…such men would hold that the truth is nothing other than the shadows of artificial things.” Their reality is limited by their experience. Then a prisoner is freed from the bonds and is forced to look at the fire and the statues that were used to cast the shadows on the walls. He is overwhelmed by the revelations and learns that the shadows were not the reality.
